As a kid my dad would tell me stories of Deer Creek. My grandparents would talk about making day trips..camping, fishing, hunting and swimming. I grew up in Chico, and spent countless hours listening to the sound of Deer Creek and its surroundings. This was a new stretch of the creek to me.

Few miles up the road I believe is where it turned from Ponderosa Way to part of the Lassen Trail. Beautiful spot for a break and some history in the form of signboards

There are trail markers along the Lassen Trail. I believe Brien said he's come across 4. We saw 2 this day. I am really looking forward to finding out how many are placed on the Lassen Trail, and making a trip to stop at all..
